I’ll Do It Tomorrow

I literally said that to myself yesterday, in regards to writing this post. So much for my resolution to stop procrastinating…

For many, January brings thoughts of a new start – initiating new, healthy habits and retiring old, destructive ones. It’s a noble notion – expected, really – but it can be difficult. The allure of broad, sweeping life changes or “Mt. Everest-sized” goals or resolutions can sometimes do more harm than good, as lofty, unattainable goals can lead to disappointment and back-sliding.

Changing the way we spend our days – even a small portion of our days – can be daunting. Here’s what we’re doing to make sure we stay on top of things ::

Set manageable, realistic, and time-bound goals

Read said goals first thing each day, well before the distraction of email and/or social media

Share goals with a few close friends or colleagues who will help with accountability

Ask each other weekly how things are going

Celebrate the small victories

So let’s head into 2017 together and with purpose. It will be exactly what we make it, so let’s make it awesome!
